Sarai Sherman

The Centaurs
1959

An expressionist painting featuring multiple overlapping figures in various poses with a dominant use of red and pink hues. The figures appear to be female, with some depicted in partial nudity. The brushwork is loose and abstract, with some areas left sketch-like, creating a sense of movement and fluidity.
